Hello,
Some picture would help a lot to understand your problem and give you precise advice on what you could try to fix your problem.
However it is known that the UMO extruder can have some problems... What filament are you trying to print? Is your bowden tube old? Same for the filament. Old filament get less flexible and this causes high friction in the bowden, resulting in extrusion defaults.
As first advice:
- Check the feeder gears, clean them and try tu adjust the tension, if itz is to low it will slip and grind the filament, if it is to high the marks it makes on the filament can cause friction.
